Object detail
HMSS COROMANDEL built in 1834 was a three-masted square rigged ship built of oak, black birch and red pine, and sheathed in yellow metal. It was the first ship to bring settlers to South Australia after it was proclaimed a colony in 1836, and one of the early ships bringing New Zealand Company settlers to Wellington, New Zealand in 1840.
